Anita

Description

Stylish and flattering, the Anita straight leg jeans have finally sauntered their way into our pattern catalog. These jeans sit perfectly below your waist and above your hips, and are tapered from the thighs down. They even have two back pocket options, in addition to the classic jeans 5th pocket! Make a pair or two, or even three, because everyone knows you can never have enough pairs of jeans!

Sew the yoke and the back pant piece together, right sides facing. Zigzag or serge that seam and then press it down towards the pant piece. Then top stitch it (sew it 0.7 cm away from the seam line). This top stitching will hold the seam allowances down so it stays nice and flat. I hope this makes sense to you now.

I don’t know about Athens, but I got stretch denim for $5.99/yard that looked EXACTLY identical to my Rock & Republic jeans (minus the distressing) from Vogue Fabrics in Illinois. You can buy swatches and fabric from them online. 2 1/2 years after your post, I’m not even sure you’re still looking.

Oh wow! Just a few days ago, I bought some stretch denim, with the intent on making new jeans by altering a regular pant pattern, but now I don’t have to! Such perfect timing, and I absolutely love this pattern! Thanks Burdastyle!
